Outfit of the Day-Indian Summer (in England!)

 

So it was a HOT Summer's evening and what better way to spend it then along the river bank of the Thames. The film 'Grease' was showing on a big screen, outside the Mayor's building, and the weather was just right for a picnic- a perfect evening. 

Here's what I wore for the evening, keeping it casual but slightly dressed up (for me anyway) 

I love this dress!! It was given to me as a birthday present and fits just right. Worn with linen pants I feel like I'm on holiday soaking up the sun (until I snap back to reality and realise im in good ol' Blighty)

As the dress is three quarter sleeves, im wearing lace detail arm sleeves underneath.

Haha I love this hat-so St Tropze ;)

 

* Dress-Monsoon

* White Linen Pants- Asda George

* Arm Sleeves- from Morocco

* Purple Zebra Hijab- Princess Rockz

* White Hijab-  A gift

* Sandals-Primark

* Hat-H&M

This drink is so refreshing!

Review: Body Shop Body Butters & 50% Off Offer

I love body butters, especially from Body Shop. They smell so gorgeous and have an amazing consistency. My favourite from the Body Shop is the Mango in a bright yellow tub ;-)

The cream doesn't feel too thick and isn't greasy, so I like to use it all year around. The Sanctuary Body Butter (from Boots) and this one from Body Shop are my favourite Body Butters, and I am yet to find any that beat them. The range have a wide selection for different skin types- including coconut, strawberry, satsuma, blueberry and lots more!

                                                      See how thick the cream is?

Body Shop have a 50% off all body butters offer at the moment. You can shop online or in any store.
